recently in charlotte, north carolina, young people rising up and showing their frustration in a different way. when you and the rest of the world sees that, what goes through your mind? >> well, i think it's important to separate out the pervasive sense of frustration among a lot of african-americans about shootings of people and the sense that justice is not always, you know, color blind. the way we change the system requires us to be able to reach out and engage the broader american community. and that requires being peaceful. that requires being thoughtful about, what are the specific reforms you're looking for? the overwhelming majority of people who have been concerned about police community relations

folks doing it the wrong way. >> much more with president obama on "good morning america." and in a moment, right here, what he said when robin asked what hillary clinton should do on that debate stage with donald trump monday night. what the president said, in a moment. that is where we turn next tonight, to the race for president. four days until that debate. and tonight, right here, four key states, two very different stories. hillary clinton ahead in colorado, 44 to trump's 42, within the margin of error. clinton leading in virginia, 45 to 39. but it is trump who is ahead in georgia, 47 to clinton's 40, and in iowa tonight, trump is ahead, 44 to clinton's 37. a very tight race in key battlegrounds. and donald trump tonight trying to reach out to african-american voters. and this evening, now clarifying what he said about stop and frisk. here's abc's tom llamas. >> reporter: tonight, with the issue of race red hot, donald trump heaping praise on police,

know, black-on-black crime. >> right. well, one of the things i'd do, ricardo, is, i would do stop and frisk. i see what's going on here, i see what's going on in chicago, i think stop and frisk -- in new york city, it was so incredible, the way it worked. >> reporter: stop and frisk is a controversial policing method that many say encourages racial profiling of pedestrians. in new york last year alone, 83% of people stopped by police were black or latino. the nypd largely abandoned the new york ruled it unconstitutional. just hours after trump made his comments, his campaign tried to clarify, insisting he was only talking about implementing stop and frisk in chicago, not nationwide. >> i was really referring to chicago with stop and frisk, they asked me about chicago. >> reporter: as trump tries to build bridges to the black community, hillary clinton working on her outreach to young voters, appearing on the popular

secretary clinton's about to take the stage with the debate. what would you want to say to her before walking out for that first debate? >> be yourself and explain what motivates you. because i will tell you, i've gotten to know hillary, and seen her work and seen her in tough times and in good times. she's in this for the right reasons. i think there's a reason why we haven't had a woman president before, and, so, she's having to break down some barriers. there's a level of mistrust and a caricature of her that just doesn't jibe with who i know. this person that cares deeply about kids. >> robin's entire interview with president obama, tomorrow morning right here on "good morning america." the news continues here tonight, and to the other developing story as we're on the air. word of a workplace shooting.
